What data for this category looks like
Daily documents for typical business entities in this category include mold design task sheets, DFM reports, part drawings, machining process cards, trial mold reports, mold modification notices, and mold history records. Data comes from customer product models, mold flow or forming simulation files, CAD/CAM exported data, machining and measurement records, and trial mold sample inspection results. Update frequency follows individual mold project progress, with synchronized updates after each trial mold or mold modification. Data includes fields such as design parameters, machining accuracy, and trial mold defect records. There are no unified fixed units, and adjustments are made according to the requirements of specific project documents.
Constraints on HTTP interfaces and external systems from these characteristics
Data sources include multiple content types such as unstructured drawings and structured inspection records. Interfaces must support compatible input and output across multiple formats. Updates have no fixed cycle and iterate with projects. Interfaces must support on-demand triggering to adapt to incremental data synchronization for single projects. Document fields change flexibly with projects. Interface parameters must support custom mapping without requiring adjustments to core logic each time. Data volume fluctuates with mold complexity. Interfaces must support dynamic adjustment of request payloads to avoid transmission timeouts.
How to set configurations
The following configurations are based on FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Single request timeout | 600–1200 seconds | Adapt to the size and transmission time of mold project documents to avoid interruptions during large-size drawing transfers |
Authorization | Generate exclusive tokens per project | Isolate interface call permissions for different mold projects to prevent unauthorized data access |
variables | Bind exclusive document field mapping rules for projects | Adapt to custom field requirements for different mold projects without adjusting interface logic each time |
| Request retry count | 3 times | Offset the impact of temporary network fluctuations on interface calls to ensure timely synchronization of trial mold data |
responseData | Only return inspection record fields that have passed verification | Filter invalid data to reduce storage and processing pressure on external systems |
| Interface transmission protocol | Force enable HTTPS | Comply with security specifications for industrial production systems to avoid risks from plaintext transmission |
Three common mistakes
- An interface call returns a 401 Unauthorized error. The cause is failing to configure an exclusive
Authorizationtoken for each mold project, and using a global token mix causes permission verification failures. - The
responseDatafield received by the external system is missing. The cause is failing to configure a response data filtering rule, returning unverified original document content that exceeds the field parsing scope of the external system. - Interface calls cannot be initiated normally. The cause is failing to enable HTTPS encrypted transmission, only using the default HTTP protocol, which fails the security verification of industrial production systems.
How to confirm configurations are correctly set
- Submit an interface request for a single trial mold report, confirm that
Authorizationverification passes, and the returnedresponseDataincludes the expected inspection record fields. - Upload mold design documents that conform to the project's standard format, confirm that the interface can correctly parse and return verification results.
- Switch to the HTTPS protocol to initiate a call, confirm that the external system can normally receive the encrypted interface response.
- Simulate a temporary network interruption scenario, confirm that the interface retry mechanism triggers according to the configuration, and complete the call normally after recovery.
